    Study Notes

    Async-await and Promises

    • await keyword is used to pause execution of the executeAsyncTask function until promise settles.
    • If the promise is rejected, an error is thrown.
    • If the promise is fulfilled, the fulfilled value is assigned to the variable on the left side of the assignment.

    HTTP Requests and Responses

    • GET, POST, PUT, DELETE are examples of HTTP request methods.
    • HTTP status code 404 indicates that the webpage or resource does not exist.
    • CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
    • Content-Type header indicates the type of data being sent in an HTTP request.

    Fetch API

    • json() method is used to extract the JSON data from the response object.
    • POST request is used to create a new resource with new data.
    • put method is used to update a specific resource with new data.
    • delete method is used to delete a specific resource.
    • headers property is used to specify headers in an HTTP request.

    CORS and Errors

    • CORS prevents web pages from making requests to a different origin (domain, protocol, or port) than the one the web page was loaded from.
    • CORS prevents cross-site request forgery attacks.
    • CORS impacts web application development by requiring additional configuration for cross-origin requests.

    Try-Catch Statements

    • try block contains code that may potentially throw an exception.
    • catch block contains code that will be executed if an exception is thrown.
    • The primary purpose of try-catch statements is to handle exceptions and errors in JavaScript.

    Asynchronous Programming

    • Asynchronous programming is used to perform time-consuming actions without blocking the execution of other code.
    • The primary purpose of asynchronous programming is to improve the responsiveness and performance of web applications.

    Callbacks and Promises

    • A callback function is a function that is passed as an argument to another function.
    • A callback function is used to handle the result of an asynchronous operation.
    • Promises represent a value that may not be available yet but will be resolved at some point in the future, or it might get rejected.
    • The primary improvement of Promises over callbacks is that Promises provide a more readable and manageable way of handling asynchronous operations.
